That's what I was afraid of. :-(  I looked through all the documentation and 
didn't find anything as versatile as a plugin.

The modules, from what I saw, only perform simple tasks, (add a box, modify 
some element, etc). Nothing oriented to help the writer in the writing 
process. It doesn't allow much interaction. 

For example, something that occurs to me now, is a search of all documents 
that shows the context of the word found in a list of matches and, obviously, 
jump to the match found. That would require a modification in the interface to 
show the results. When I search for something, it is a bit annoying to compare 
different segments by jumping between documents.

Thanks.
I love LyX and want to expand it!
